Liparus coronatus is a species of beetles belonging to the family Curculionidae.

This species is native to Europe.[2]

Description[]

Liparus coronatus. Mating

Liparus coronatus can reach a body length of about 11–13 mm (0.43–0.51 in).[3] These rather uncommon small wevils are almost completely shiny black. . Pronotum is finely and densely punctured. The basal edge is lined with yellow scales throughout, with two large yellow scaly spots on each side. Femurs are strong and pointed.

Biology[]

Adults of Liparus coronatus can be found from March to September.[4] Larvae develop within rootstock. These wevils live on Apiaceae, mainly on chervil (Anthriscus sylvestris'), Rough Chervil (Chaerophyllum temulum), wild carrot (Daucus species), Carrot (Daucus carota) and Pastinaca species.[5][6][7]
